Would you like one day to achieve such a level of spiritual evolvement that you yourself are considered a spiritual master? At this spiritual level you not only transform yourself but have the ability to positively influence humankind. This can only happen through spiritual growth. The issue is that the spiritual level of most seekers only increases by 0.25% per year. Under the guidance of H.H. Dr Athavale seekers have surpassed these odds and have achieved spiritual growth rates of up to 10% a year. As of November 2015, there are close to 60 seekers who have attained Sainthood and over 750 seekers who have attained the spiritual level of 60% and above. In this section, we share the underlying principles and teachings behind such astonishing spiritual growth rates so that seekers can make the best use of their life and reach God-realisation in one lifetime itself.
